Translation examples
Even when the panic was over and we had dragged ourselves back to bed we did not get to sleep again, not properly—Lydia doing hiccuppy after-sobs and my heart tom-tomming away—but lay on the bed on our backs for a long time, as if practising to be the corpses that one day we shall be.
Incluso cuando se acabó el pánico y nos hubimos arrastrado de vuelta a la cama, no conseguimos volver a dormir, no del todo —Lydia emitía unos postsollozos en forma de hipo, y el tam-tam de mi corazón se calmaba lentamente—, sino que permanecimos echados boca arriba durante mucho tiempo, como si practicáramos para ser los cadáveres que seríamos algún día.
